Coin Up is a mobile donation app that connects qualified nonprofits with donors who share their passion for a common cause.
Currently, Coin Up is only available in the United States. We are planning to expand internationally soon, so please do check back by next year to see if Coin Up is live in your country. You can download Coin Up from the App Store, Google Play, or sign up directly on our website.
Please make sure to type in “Coin Up App” and look for the aqua and coral heart shaped icon! You can also sign up on our website at www.coinupapp.com.
Coin Up is an official and authorized partner of each listed charity on our platform. Each charity on Coin Up has expressly given us their permission on their behalf to collect donations and have them sent directly to their account.
We follow industry standard security protocols (SSL) and use authorized third party payment processors for your transactions. These companies utilize state of the art encrypted technology and multi-factor authentication (MFA) to ensure your information is secure.
We take your trust seriously and will never disclose your personal information to anyone.
We charge a minimal transaction fee for payment processing and to keep the lights on. Our fee is charged directly to the nonprofit, so your entire donation to a charity on Coin Up should be deductible, however please do consult with your tax advisor.
Coin Up does not charge any fees to register a nonprofit or to download the app. Coin Up does charge 15% of donations to cover all transaction costs, reporting, and ongoing support for our nonprofit partners, (the current national average for fundraising costs is 25%). In addition, there is a $1 one-time fee to authenticate each new user’s bank account.
Yes. At the end of each year, we will send you a receipt that reflects your total contributions to your charities.
We love to explore additional charities that may be a good fit for our platform! Please shoot us a detailed email that includes the name of the charity, their web address, phone number, and a contact person if possible, so we can get in touch with them.
Coin Up has a search by category and a search by zip code feature that introduces new charities to you based on a cause you care about or the city you live in.
At the moment you cannot link another credit card to the same email address. However, you are able to create another Coin Up account with a unique email and register a different another debit/credit card. We will plan to add more than one credit/debit card to each email in future releases.

Your Venmo and Paypal accounts are all attached to one or more of your credit or debit cards. If you link any of your debit/credit cards to Coin Up, your transactions will round up whether it is an Apple Pay, Venmo, Paypal, or manual debit/credit card transaction.
You will see one transaction at the beginning of each month listed as “WePay/Coin Up” on your debit or credit card statement for your total monthly donation.
Hope that is helpful! However, please email us at hollerback@coinupapp.com if you continue to have any issues.
Please contact your bank and tell them you are using "Plaid" for Coin Up and that you would like to connect your bank account. They may give you a pin or security question to make it happen. Plaid is very common now - used for Mint, Venmo, and other common apps, so your bank has approved this and should be able to give you further instructions.
In terms of accounts, when you enter card details for your debit cards (i.e. the credit card numbers, exp date, etc.) those are the cards that will be charged at the end of each month for each of your monthly donations.
When you entered the username and password for your bank - this allows the app to see your purchases and calculate the round up amounts for each transaction. However no charges are taking place throughout the month, just the calculation of the round ups on the app.) All of this information is secured and approved by your bank. It is only a view only access.
At the end of the month, rest assured, we will be comparing your total round ups to ensure that we only collect the round ups UP TO THE LIMIT that EACH of you have designated. We will NOT go over those monthly limits that you have sent. (The minimum charge will be $5 per month.)
If you prefer, you can choose to do a fixed monthly amount which does not require you to enter the username and password.
We hope this information gives you some level of insight and security that we always maintain the donor's requirements at the highest standards. If there is any other information we can provide you with, please do let us know.
Did you by chance delete your account on the app already? That is why it may not allow you to sign in and says your email is already in use. Please do email us at hollerback@coinupapp.com if you would like us to reactivate your account.
